At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

In order to make everyone believe it, Ren Hao took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and showed it to everyone.

Seeing the imperial edict, everyone knelt on the ground in panic and bowed, saying in unison: "Common people greet your majesty!!!"

Of course, they were not worshipping Ren Hao, but the imperial edict in Ren Hao's hand.

After all, according to ancient Chinese law, an imperial edict was like the emperor himself being present, ministers had to kneel down to receive the edict, and common people had to perform the ritual of three bows and nine kowtows.

Although Ren Hao understood this, he still felt speechless.

Although what he held in his hand was an imperial edict, there were no outsiders present. The imperial edict was just a yellow silk roll. Was it necessary to perform the grand ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows?

Seeing that everyone was still lying on the ground with their heads down, Ren Hao was speechless and asked, "Why don't you get up?"

"Master, you hold the emperor's edict in your hand, which is like the emperor himself. You didn't let us get up, so we dare not get up." Liu Min said while crawling on the ground.

Eh.

What a hassle.

Ren Hao sighed and put away the imperial edict, imitating the emperor's tone and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison and then got up from the ground.

After Ren Hao imitated the old emperor's voice, he suddenly understood why so many people in the world wanted to be emperor.

That voice of “My dears, please stand up” was so refreshing!!!

After Chen Yin got up from the ground, he asked in confusion: "Master, since you have the privilege of minting coins, why don't you just mint copper coins or silver coins? Why do you have to use tin coins?"

"If I really want to mint copper or silver coins, how would I be different from rebelling?"

"Even if the emperor does not intend to kill me, the ministers in the court will unite to put pressure on the emperor. By then, even if the emperor does not want to kill me, he will be unable to do so." Ren Hao explained to everyone.

"Then why do you want to mint tin coins, sir? Although tin is very similar to silver, it is not as valuable as copper and silver, and there is no possibility of trading." Chen Yin continued to ask, looking like he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Ren Hao did not hide it and told everyone the truth. The reason why he wanted to disperse the refugees occupying the Prime Minister's Kiln was because he and the emperor were going to open a Maozi Distillery together.

Tin coins were minted to serve as wine coins for purchasing Maozi.

Wow, partnering with the emperor to open a Maozi Distillery?

Everyone gasped. Let alone partnering with the emperor, even opening a factory in partnership with a minister was something they would never dare to think about in their lifetime.

"Master, you are really capable. You can even win over the emperor to make money."

"From now on, we'll just have to wait to benefit from the master." Everyone started to flatter Ren Hao.

Ren Hao also waved his hand with a wry smile on his face. Although he had obtained the privilege of minting coins and opened a factory in partnership with the emperor to make money, the price was also very heavy.

Within a month, the empty treasury must be replenished.

With such a heavy price to pay, I'm afraid no one else in the world would dare to accept it except Ren Hao.

"Master, since you have partnered with the emperor to open a factory, and you have to make the national treasury abundant within a month, why don't you just accept copper coins and silver when selling wine? You have to mint wine coins to exchange them." Liu Min asked in confusion, thinking that it was completely unnecessary for Ren Hao to mint wine coins.

Everyone looked at Ren Hao, and they also felt that minting wine coins to exchange for wine was a unnecessary method.

"If I only sell alcohol, even if I am given ten times more time, I still won't be able to enrich the treasury."

"But if it's wine currency, that's another story."

"It takes time for us to brew and distill wine. Although it also takes time to mint wine coins, it is not as slow as brewing and distilling wine. We can sell the wine coins first to get a large amount of money, and we can make the wine slowly." Ren Hao gave a brief explanation and everyone nodded in sudden enlightenment. Isn't this similar to the routine of getting something for nothing?

"Master is so smart!!!" Although everyone seemed to understand, they just wanted to flatter Ren Hao.

"Haha, it's just so-so." Ren Hao waved his hand somewhat elatedly.

Chen Yin, who was standing next to him, immediately said, "Since we are going to build a winery here, please wait outside the kiln for a while, sir. I will go back to the kiln and get the refining tools."

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Just continue working in the kiln and don't need to take out those refining tools." Ren Hao shook his head.

The kiln was so spacious that there was more than enough space left for Chen Yin to mint tin coins.

In addition, there are another thousand imperial guards coming here, so there is no need to worry about the retainers of the merchants in Mincheng coming to cause trouble for Chen Yin.

"In that case, I won't move. As for my younger sister, please take care of her. Although my younger sister can't do anything, she can be a maid and clean the yard in the mansion." Chen Yin nodded and clasped his fists towards Ren Hao.

"Brother, I will be wherever you are." Chen He ran to Chen Yin unwillingly and hugged his brother's arm.

"My little sister, the environment in the kiln is harsh, and the refining environment is bad. How can I let you suffer?"

"You'd better follow the master back home. You don't have to keep your head bald anymore. You can grow your hair long." Chen Yin sighed and said to Chen He with eyes full of doting.

"Brother..." Chen He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Yin's glare: "They say that an elder brother is like a father. Are you so arrogant now that you won't listen to your brother's arrangements?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chen He had no choice but to give up and nodded, then came to Ren Hao.

"Don't worry, brave Chen Yin. You and your sister are both guests of my house. I will take care of her like my own sister." Ren Hao assured Chen Yin and then asked, "It just so happens that I have opened a school in my house. Can I let her study with the teacher?"

The reason why Ren Hao sought Chen Yin's opinion was that things in ancient times were different from modern times.

In ancient times, few women were literate. They were required to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and a woman’s virtue lay in her lack of talent.

Chen Yin didn't object and clasped his fists towards Ren Haoyi: "Thank you very much, Master."

"This is what I should do. No need to thank me." Ren Hao nodded, said goodbye to Chen Yin, and returned home with everyone.

After Ren Hao led everyone back home, he saw a fine black horse tied at the door of his house.

Ren Hao recognized this black horse at a glance. Wasn't this the black horse that was sold for seven thousand strings of cash?

Now this horse is tied at the door of her house, could it be that Xu Yating bought it?

As Ren Hao entered the mansion in confusion, Cai Lun ran over in a panic and said, "Master, you are finally back. There is an old man in front of us. He said that he saw the notice posted by the master at the south gate and wanted to enter the mansion to borrow some money."
